INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, HUB, NETWORK INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM HAVING HUB, INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A coordination unit (34) is provided which switches the state between an active state in which data sent to a specific address is registered and the data is processed, and an inactive state other than the active state. When it is determined that unprocessed data stored in a data storage unit (31) cannot be processed within a predetermined time, the coordination unit (34) instructs another MFP to make a transition to the active state. At the same time, the coordination unit (34) make a transition to the inactive state to allow a data processing unit (32) to process unprocessed data. This configuration coordinates a job (data) without using a server.
